Amazingly good news!!! Can we expect to see these this week?

Tomorrow, April 1, would be the perfect day to celebrate the 2nd Annual Wacky Packages Day with this release

Second best news I've heard today only after my grocer said, "why, yes. we do have toilet paper today".

Swiski · « **Reply #7 on:** March 31, 2020, 06:08:12 PM »

I'm excited but nervous at the same time! It's been a long time since the last postcards, and I have a feeling Topps is going to charge a lot for these, much like the price increase on Old School. I just got furloughed at work, so money will be tight. But I have all the previous postcard sets and I really want to get these to continue the collection with no holes.

I bet they will be COVID-19 themed.

No Daryl. The last thing any of us want to do is promote a virus. These are a fun diversion from the bad news

No worries! Prices will be reasonable, especially if you just want a base set of the regular postcards.

Thanks Neil! This is the kind of news we are all in need of these days!

Now this isn't any of this "Fake News" we been hearing about

Seriously though I am looking forward to getting some, just post when they become available.

That's good to hear. There is nothing remotely funny about this pandemic.

If sales are a little lower than the earlier sets, I hope Topps will take into account that a lot of people are losing their jobs. On that note, if anyone here finds themselves furloughed/laid off/fired when the set is released, shoot me a PM.

Thanks! The problem is I want the bonus cards. I have a complete set thus far. Never completed the artist profile cards, but that's OK if I miss those. I will weigh the options once these are released. I don't see a glut of too many Wacky Packages products released this year, so maybe I can swing this.

Several artists posting their sketch cards on Facebook this morning: Joey Fitchett, Jon Gregory, Jasmine Contois

Based on past experience, a 10:00 am or noon Topps release time (Eastern). I haven't seen any notices from Topps - has anyone else?

Topps notices are always an hour or more after items are posted, I wouldn’t wait for that if you want to be first in.

Had I been working at the office, I wouldn't have gotten the good news about this release today nearly so soon. The thought of new April Fool Wacky Postcards cheered me up, and I'm actually working a little more focused now.

I’ve heard they are already printed, so it’s too late

koduck · « **Reply #28 on:** April 01, 2020, 06:17:12 PM »

We're making every effort to fix that...let's keep our fingers crossed!

Glad to hear the news! I haven't decided what I'll order yet, but I look forward to placing the order (and getting them)

This is great news during a stressful time. Any word on how many limited edition set they are selling?

Lavirus · « **Reply #32 on:** April 02, 2020, 07:02:57 AM »

Well, I ordered 3 sets of the limited edition in order to (hopefully) get a complete set of Bio cards. Those were some of my favorite items in the original run, a complete set of them makes a fabulous 'series' (as does a set of the bonus cards). If I get dupes, I'll be back here trading!

Let's hope this is the start of a regular return, the Halloween postcards RULE.

Pity they didn't make a new binder for these.

I did the same thing for the same reason.
